Hey, So I have a problem that I've never seen before. The other day I ran up 2nd and 3rd, then let off and heard a giant commotion under the car. I pulled over and discovered that the harmonic balancer had exploded from just past where the washer clamps it. This was an approx. 1yr old balancer...

Hello all. I haven't been around too much lately but now that I'm home for the summer I have been doing a bit of work to the volvo and figure it's time for an update. I posted the same stuff in the "Project" section, but I hardly ever look in there so I figure nobody else does either. Well...

Where did the thread that had all sorts of pictures and information about the $2000 head that peter got from sweden go? I have searched all sorts of related threads and looked all over the place. Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place for this thread.... It's performance in a slightly...

So I figure I will make a new thread because the old one is... well... old. I have been working on a few things as of late. Got my new wiring harness and 4 bar map sensor from rs-autosport. And no, thats not a typo. :-D I also bought a collector kit from some guy off the internet for $50...

So! I blew up my car a while back. Overheated to 250+ degrees and bent three rods (not related). So for the last month or so I have been working on fixing that, as well as doing some things I have been wanting to do for a while. I am making new motor mounts, doing a clutch disk to hold me over...

This has been my project since I inherited it from my dad, who has owned it since it was new. My first project on the car was removing the stock exhaust and installing a 5 point harness. I ran open downpipe for 6 months or so. My parents took away my driving privledges, so I took the car...

Am I missing something or do we not usually have threads for the feature cars? Anyway, I just wanted to say that that thing is SICK! That cage is insane, the interior, the suspension, the stockish exterior. I love it! Ben

First off, 1985 740 with a manual crank sunroof is the car. So, I have a problem with my sunroof. A couple months ago, I was cranking the sunroof (can't remember whether in or out at the time) and it bound up. Well, I had to get it closed, and so I tried jimmying it in, no dice. So it ended up...

Ok. So forgive me if this is a repost, it deserves to be posted over and over and over. I haven't seen it on here, but it still might be. This just about might be the sickest Volvo video I've ever seen. http://racemovie.mine.nu/movies/bjorck/bjorcks%20busbil%202004%20242turbo.avi If it...

So, I figure I should post up some pics of my intake mani so ya'all can tell me what im doing wrong. I havent gotten terrible far on it, but I did make some velocity stacks which were quite a pain in the ass but i think they turned out allright. I'm just waiting until I feel like tearing my car...

so i blew up my original spider (ended up chipping my pinion as well) gears a few days ago and swapped in a "new" junkyard whole axle. While i was at it, i decided to put in a Powertrax Lock-rite to eliminate spider gear problems. The install went fine, after a bit of choice wording. As soon as...

hey guys, i have a problem... i went out last night and cranked the boost to around 14psi just to see what would happen, and boy oh boy that was fun! :) haha... it ran perfectly for about a whole quarter tank (used up in about 20 miles... lol). but when i went out at 6:30 this morning and...
